Antiquity warfare captures a huge swath of the world’s history of war, conducted from the beginning of recorded history up until the fall of Rome in 476 CE. Ancient Egypt advanced from spears and leather shields to the use of horses and chariots, body armor, and composite bows. The Persian Empire paired armored cavalry with heavy and ranged infantry. Ancient Greeks relied on armored infantry and the phalanx formation. Greek development of the sarissa (a long spear) improved the effectiveness of the phalanx formation. The sarissa provided the ability to inflict greater casualties at a further distance, and masked the formation’s movements depending on how the sarissa’s were held. Alexander the Great made use of the sarissa in combination with light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and chariots in his campaigns. As ancient cultures and civilizations grew, so too did their conflicts, resulting in the development of new technologies meant to provide an advantage on the battlefield.

The Golden Horde was a division of the Mongol Empire that ruled over much of the Ukraine, Russia, and Central Asia. A significant power for over a century, it began to decline in the mid-1300s due to the Black Death as well as military losses to both Tamerlane and the Russian princes.
Have faith.
